Dakota
1997 gelding
06-20-08
Dakota's
left front clearly had a pretty big dorsal flare which had been rasped
off. His LF frog is stretched very far forward, and his LF heel was
quite long. Right front shows medial flaring. While his
heels are not underrun, the hoof capsule on both front feet is narrow
and stretched forward. Very little concavity in the front feet.
All four of Dakota's feet showed some mediolateral imbalance.
Some hip/back issues suspected, which is not surprising with the
medial heel on all four feet longer than the lateral heel. While
Dakota goes reasonably sound, we can make some tremendous improvements
to his trim which will help keep him sound for many years to
come!
